A date with nature

The latest news from our Date With Nature projects around the UK. 

Ciao for now from Chichester

With the telescopes packed away for another year, we take a look at how the peregrines of Chichester Cathedral got on.Two juvenile peregrines in flight

With more visitors than ever joining us in Paradise Garden, the peregrines didn't disappoint.

All four eggs hatched, and with three girls and a boy all jostling for food, mum and dad were kept very busy - often both feeding the chicks at the same time, which is something we'd not seen them do before.

As well as beaming live images from the nest to screens at our viewpoint, the chicks even became stars of the small screen. Springwatch came to film the chicks' first flights, and our 10-year-old volunteer, Dan, was on the Paul O'Grady Show to talk about them.

Big thanks to everyone who came to see the peregrines (and us) - we hope you enjoyed watching them as much as we did.
